Declare Victory

Hold fast the front
the line has broken
bereaving beneath a traitors misfortune
rank and file
positions are stolen
forbearance shown in resolve
for mercy is grim
relentless we fight
for the condemned we stand with
columns are shattered
abandoned and broken


Hold back destroyers
consuming their plunder
wasting lives to rend asunder
detached and divided
trampled under
the damage done
to the blameless who wonder
if mercy is shown
for the fearless standing alone
Will few pay the cost
when positions are lost
and we all feel outnumbered?
